A Sense of Direction
 Our most currently finished floor was topped with Sgraffino to begin. We then dyed the area with forest green water-based dye. Next, the design was cut into the concrete. The center circle was colored using sunrise yellow water-based dye and the rest of the design was colored using metallic pigmented epoxies in pearl, galaxy blue, and copper. Once everything was dry we put an epoxy primer-sealer on to protect the surface until we are ready to coat the entire floor in epoxy. |

Life's A Beach
On either side of what will represent water once it is finished, there are sgraffino beaches. This look was achieved using two colors of colorfast.

A Magic Carpet
 The solution to vacuuming! Why use an area rug when all you really need is a concrete floor, a stencil, and some dye? This floor was first topped with sgraffino. It was the acid stained, and when the stain was dry the sencil was applied. Once the stencil was down, it areas not covered by the stencil were dyed, then the stencil was removed and ta-daa...a "rug" you can mop!

There's No Nails
We have been taking any opportunity we have been given to get the concrete out front poured. So far we have four patterns done, including the cedar plank you see here. Someone could have a "wooden" porch and never have to pound in a single nail, or sand it, or worry about termites! Thanks to all who have stopped in and given a hand with the stamping, we hope your experience helped you as well. If anyone else would enjoy some hands-on training with stamping, please contact us and we will notify you of our next pour.
